teresa-t Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 In 7.1, if you click on a tag or author name, you basically see the exact same page as the parent collection page but with the filtered results. Unlike 7.0, there is no visual indicator (i.e. text) to tell you what exactly changed and how your results were filtered. Am I missing something or is there a way to display how exactly you filtered, such as with a "Filtered by tag XXX" in 7.1? EarvinChong and rodvaldr 2 Link to comment
acid__bat Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 I have the same question! Following. Link to comment
mferrini Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 This is a maddening issue with 7.1. Not only is there a limitation which only allows for categories to be shown in a blog section and NOT tags, but whenever something is filtered there's no way to show a user where they are, like in 7.0. Even using the fantastic Universal Filter: https://www.squarewebsites.org/products/universal-filter This seemingly arbitrary limitation feels impossible to solve. Why Squarespace? Why?! If anyone has a solution for this I'd like to know. Thanks! EarvinChong, Beyondspace, Latrippi and 1 other 4 Link to comment

If anyone has a solution for this I'd like to know. Thanks! I should clarify, that this situation is solvable, to a point using the Universal Filter plugin by exposing the .filter-value with CSS, like: /* -- Expose .filter-value -- */ .custom-filter-container .filterDropdown:not(.outside-values-visible) .outsideFilterValues {display: block;} This will show the name of the tag or category a user has filtered underneath the filter name. And this works wherever the filter is applied, but it really should be built in AND developers/clients should have the ability to name the value title, which using Universal Filter can be done within the config script for tags and/or categories, here: name: 'Filter By Topic', multiple: true, capitalcase: true, getAttr: 'tags' Also, it's unfathomable to me why Squarespace would make the arbitrary decision to limit how tags and categories can be displayed AND to set character limits to categories. Perhaps they'll add this back to 7.1 and have some internal reason for not doing so already, but a little more transparency from them would be greatly appreciated, especially with features that have been removed in the transition from 7.0 to 7.1.
